Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala & Belize

This is a very enjoyable sipping rum. The flavour has complexity, though I must agree with other reviewers: the bourbon casks haven't left much elbow room for the subtler, tropical rum flavours. In fact, I'm planning to get some of my Jack Daniels-drinking friends to taste this stuff blind, tell them it's Tennessee whiskey, and see whether they smell a rat. Having said that, the bottle doesn't seem to be lasting all that long, which always seems to happen with Plantation rums in my cabinet...

This is the new version of the Plantation Gran Anejo Guatemala available since 2015. Matured in casks for 3 years in Guatemala, and finished in ex-cognac caks in France. Vanilla is very present with almond, marzipan and honey. Well balanced with cocoa, woody vanilla notes. Elegant finish.

Smooth, full bodied with some almonds and tropical fruits. Awesome balance.

Směs rumů, které zrají nejdříve ve své domovině a pak dozrávají v sudech po koňaku ve Francii.
Alkohol: 42 %
Původ: Guatemala a Belize
Aroma: Med, rumové pralinky, staré dřevo, trocha laku. Sladší kořenitost, taky něco málo kokosu, vanilka. Taková klasická rumová vůně. (86 b)
Chuť: V prvním dojmu mě překvapil výraznou sladkostí. Dřevo, čokoláda, med, sladké koření, z něj je tu vanilka nejvíc patrná. (90 b)
Body: 88
Shrnutí: Ochutnal jsem díky českolipskému podniku Kavárna/bar Kocour, kde mají velmi pěknou nabídku rumů. Veskrze příjemná záležitost, hlavně v chuti mě oslovil a určitě časem pořídím celou lahev.

Bel assemblage qu'est ce Gran Anejo. La finition en France apporte un côté très harmonieux.

For its price is really great. Not that good like xo or panama 2004 but still very good. In aroma you can feel that was aged in cognac casks. Other flavours you can smell are vanilla and nuts. In taste continue vanilla with oak, cocoa and fruit.

Gute Wahl für Einsteiger. Nicht zu komplex, jedoch kann man beide Regionen klar schmecken.

That fair rum, well balanced and a little sweet, a bit of fruits, like mango or aple, a little vanilla burst finish. finish is elegant and long enough. Really smooth sipper but im not sure sip it or mix with cocke? with coke u can taste some coconuts flavour. It is for sure worth your try.

Whooohoo, for that little bit of money my heart skips a beat every time I open that bottle to take a long shot sided with coconut fudge.

Good for "Everyday Rum".
It's a very typical rum and reasonable price.
No alcohol burn.
It is a not special rum, but it has no weakness for me.

Weich, fruchtig mit moderater Süße. Warm und leicht alkoholisch auf der Zunge. Rund im Abgang.

Zu wenig definiert, etwas scharf. OK, aber kein Highlight.

Beautiful aroma, very smooth taste, not burning. Vanilla is very present with almond

good, xaymaca is better if I compare them, but this one still good.

I like to sip this one while enjoying Family evenings at home. Good value for the money. It's half the price of the 20th anniversity xo, but that doesn't go for the taste. I would buy this one again.

Pas mauvais du tout avec des notes d'amandes. Pas mal équilibré

Found a bottle with only 1.5 ounces remaining; added 1/4 ounce of water, no ice and surprise, surprise, it was delicious; one of the most enjoyable rums I've tasted. This brand "Plantation" is going to be very confusing as they produce rum from so many Islands in the Caribbean.

Pár korun navíc oproti prvním modelům a vypadá to úplne jinak. Nejsou už tolik cítit lihové tóny jako u Grand Reserve a není ani tak sladce karamelový jako Black Cask. Vůně podstatně zkrocená. Chut z prvu nasládlá. Po chvíli převalování schne. Když vezmu že flaška vyjde na 600kč rozhodně 8+, bohužel zaokrouhleno dolů.

Color : gold
Wood, soft spices, round taste.

Good quality for a good price

I like this one quite a bit. Typical Plantation taste and affordable. Sweet, but not too sweet. Ik think this would be enjoyable for most people. Also if you are not a rum drinker.

Caramel, sweet with a finish loaded with spices. Nutmeg, cloves, anise. Not my cup of tea because of the spices.

Rhum fruité avec du corps. Belle structure. Mériterait un peu plus de rondeur.

Cладкий, но до десертного не дотягивающий, пряный, с мягким терпким дубом, в аромате слабоват, но вкус компенсирует. 8/10 

Sweet, but not sweet to the dessert, spicy, with a soft tart oak, weak in flavor, but the taste compensates.

J'en garde un bon souvenir, toujours un cran en dessous d'un Zafra 21 ou du Plantation 20th Anniversary, mais on est dans une gamme de prix beaucoup plus modeste.
